On May 20, in City of Arlington v. FCC, the Supreme Court held 6-3 that courts should defer to an agency's determination of its own jurisdiction. The concept of Chevron deference, considered one of the most important principles in administrative law, is well-established under Chevron USA, Inc. v. National Resources Defense Council. This is the first time, however, the Supreme Court decided whether deference applies to the scope of agency jurisdiction.

Adler co-authored a University of Illinois Law Review article "The Rest is Silence: Chevron Deference, Agency Jurisdiction, and Statutory Silences." In the article cited in the dissent, Adler argued that agencies should not receive deference, particularly where a statute is silent about the existence of agency jurisdiction.
